Shinrin-Yoku is the practice of spending time in nature for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. It is a Japanese term that translates into “forest bathing” - taking in the forest atmosphere. Through a guided experience, you will be led by a trained guide through a series of invitations that slows you down, awakens your senses, and supports you in building a deep, healing connection with nature.森林浴是指以增進健康和快樂為目的的方式體驗大自然的過程。森林浴 (shinrin-yoku) 本來是日本名詞，意思是讓自己沐浴在森林的氣氛之中。在受過訓練的嚮導的引領下，你可以接受大自然的邀請，放慢你的腳步、喚醒你的感官、用五感感受森林，並與自然建立深刻、充滿療癒力量的關係。
